I am so tired of winter. First it was all the snow and now it's just rain, rain, rain. It 【1】(seem) like the cold and rain have been here so long that I can 【2】(hard) remember what the sun looks. It has been wet and miserable for weeks and weeks.

I have been feeling so bad lately and think it has a lot to do with the 【5】 (depress) weather this month. March is just the 【6】 (bad) month in my opinion.

【答案】
【1】seems
【2】hardly
【3】and
【4】The
【5】depressing
【6】worst
【7】on
【8】was parked
【9】to bring
【10】driving
【解析】
【1】seems 全文是一般现在时,所以这里也应该一致,主语是it,所以用单三形式seems。
【2】hardly 句意:冬天不是下雪就是下雨,以至于我都记不清太阳的样子了,hardly几乎不。
【3】and 我所做的事情有climb into bed, crawl under the covers,和hide from the world ,所以用填并列连词and。
【4】The first是序数词,前面要用定冠词the,句首开头字母大写,所以填The。
【5】depressing 这里应该用形容词修饰名词weather,depressing令人沮丧的,天气总是下雨,所以导致作者的心情不好。
【6】worst March是三月,这里应该在说:我认为一年中三月最不好,所以用最高级形式worst。
【7】on 这里是短语:在回家的路上,所以是on my way home。
【8】was parked 逗号后面是非限制性定语从句,修饰前面的car,意思是:我的车被停在了停车场的尽头,所以用一般过去时的被动语态。
【9】to bring forget to do 意思是忘记做某事,本段第一句说我被雨淋透了,所以应该是忘记带伞,所以填to bring。
【10】driving 短语have a hard time doing something的意思是:做某事有困难。所以填driving。
【题目】根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Winter begins in the north on December 22nd.People and animals have been doing what they always do to prepare for the colder months, Sqzeirrels, for example, have been busy gathering nuts from trees.【1】They examined differences between red squirrels and gray squirrels in the American state of Indiana. The scientists wanted to know how these differences could affect the growth of black walnut(黑胡桃)trees【2】The black walnut tree is also a central part of some hardwood forests.Rob Swihart of Purdue University did the study with Jake Goheen, a former Purdue student nowat the University of New Mexico. The two researchers estimate that several times as many walnuts grow when gathered by gray squirrels as compared to red squirrels.Gray squirrels and red squirrels do not store nuts and seeds in the same way. Gray squirrels bury nuts one at a time in a number of places.【3】So some nuts remain in the ground. Conditions are right for them to develop and grow the following spring.Red squirrels, however, store large groups of nuts above ground.【4】But Professor Swihart says their numbers began to decrease as more forests were cut for agriculture. Red squirrels began to spread through the state during the past century. The researchers say red squirrels are native to forests that stay green all year, unlike walnut trees. They say the cleaning of forest land for agriculture has helped red squirrels invade(涌入)Indiana.【5】
